Strange. Parted is able to open/print a manually created dd image (with 140 entry gpt table created using gdisk) but the "make check" test fails ( http://paste2.org/p/1758285) . Whats wrong? Regards. Keshav

parted script mode fails with unit option

2011-10-09 Thread Keshav P R
Hi, Parted in script mode (latest git snapshot) fails to run when "unit MiB" is used (mainly for mkpart commands). I am planning to use similar commands in Archlinux installer script. Please check the attached file test_parted_unit.sh . Thanks in advance. keshav_pr@host % ./test_parted_unit.
